An IP address is a unique number that identifies an Internet site or a server on the world-wide web, so if you have a dedicated IP, it will be used just by your Internet sites and won't be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared website hosting accounts. If you have your own web server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may need additional ones for many different uses. Provided you have a web-based store, for instance, you will need an SSL certificate for it, to ensure that the payment info your customers submit shall be encrypted and protected. The same is valid in case you have a login form of some sort and you wish the usernames and the passwords that visitors enter to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which ought to be different from the one that you already have on the hosting server. You could also need an individual IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better functionality for a certain website, which may affect its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers

Our VPS servers feature one dedicated IP address by default. A second one is available as well - if they are ordered with a hosting Control Panel. In case you need more IPs, however, you shall be able to add them easily, no matter the package which you have chosen. You are able to do this during the signup process if you need them from the very beginning or through your billing account - if you need them afterwards. The dedicated IPs will be assigned to your hosting server shortly after that and you could begin using them. You'll be able to renew the IPs along with the plan for so long as you plan to use them. This upgrade is quite useful not simply for your personal content, but also in case you want to use the virtual server to run an Internet hosting reseller business, because you shall be able to provide a dedicated IP to every client who wants to use one. There is no restriction on the amount of addresses you could order or on how often you may do that.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers

All dedicated servers which we offer come with three IP addresses by default and you'll be able to use them in any way you see fit. In case you need even more IPs for any reason, you could add them to your web server with just a few clicks with no limits as to their number or the period for which you'll be able to use them. This upgrade comes in increments of three and if you require the IPs right from the start, you can add them to the package deal during the signup process, while in the event that it turns out that you need more IPs at some point later on, you could order them just as simply from your billing area and we shall assign them to your dedicated server a few moments later. The dedicated IPs can be renewed with the server plan on a monthly basis and you could decide if you will renew all of them or only a few - in the event that you no longer require that many. You may use the IPs both for your own sites and for client hosting accounts - if you're using the dedicated server as a hosting reseller platform.
